Well, I have three in the shack, and there's no way I could combine them
all.
My 'daily driver' runs Linux, the one that runs PowerSDR has Windoze
things on it, and the third one is a low-power unit running Linux that
I'm going to use to connect my Kenwood TM-D710 to the Internet with.
The one running PowerSDR was built with "Neal Approved" parts. Sure,
it's overkill, but I *like* building PC's, and in a couple of years when
it's "outdated" for my use, it will still be "overpowered" for the the
person who buys it for home use.

I ordinarily defer to Neal's experience and expertise in about 50
milliseconds but I do not understand his reasoning with respect to the need
for two computers, at least in the ordinary home setting. If one were
running a business out of the front bedroom, I might feel differently about
it. Another instance would be one in which the XYL or the house apes
wanted to use the computer whilst daddy was contesting his arse off.
Otherwise, why bear the expense and bother of maintaining two machines?
Create different user accounts, even different drives/drive arrays, if you
need to feel some degree of separation. It is the loss of data that one
needs be most concerned about, not the failure of hardware, which is cheap
and readily replaceable. And data can be protected every bit as well on a
single machine as on two.
At least that's the way I see it.

Hmmm... I just can't buy the separate computers stuff. It's probably a way
that ppl who aren't too comfortable with the intricacies of computers
should go. However, that would seem needless to me. I've used duplex
streaming devices many times before and know clearly what is needed. Flex,
though complicated in what it does, is not a stranger.
